Kurzbeschreibung

Raising and control have figured in every comprehensive model of syntax for forty years. Recent renewed attention to them makes this collection a timely one. The contributions, representing some of the most exciting recent work, address many fundamental research questions. What beside the canonical constructions might be subject to raising or control analyses? What constructions traditionally treated as raising or control might not actually be so? What classes of control must be recognized? How do tense, agreement, or clausal completeness figure in their distribution? The chapters address these and other relevant issues, and bring new empirical data into focus. TOC:Acknowledgements.- New horizons in the analysis of Control and Raising: Looking out over the horizon; W.D. Davies, S. Dubinsky.- New views of Raising: Raising in DP Revisited; I. Sichel. The late development of Raising: What children seem to think about seem; C. Hirsch, K. Wexler. Raising of major arguments in Korean and Japanese; J. Yoon.- Raising or Control in Greek: Not really ECM, not exactly control: The 'quasi ECM' construction in Greek; G. Kotzoglou, D. Papangeli. Control in Greek: It's another good move; K. Kapetangianni, T.D. Seely. Finiteness and Control in Greek; V. Spyropoulos.- Control in Romance: Moving forward with Romanian Backward Control and Raising; G. Alboiu. Agreement and Flotation in Romance Control Configurations; C. Rodrigues. Null subjects in Brazilian Portuguese and Finnish: they are not derived; movement; M. Modesto.- Extensions and alternatives to the MTC: On non-obligatory control; C. Boeckx, N. Hornstein. Control and Wh infinitivals; M. Barrie. Control via selection; J. Rooryck.
